Blizzards do not add strategic depth but rather minimize strategy.
If blizzards occurred at set times throughout a map then they would add strategic depth. Something you cannot plan for does not add strategic depth.
What the blizzards do is shift some emphasis from the strategic component to the tactical component. Like the OP stated, they add more micro that has to be performed. Sacrificing strategical decisions for tactical ones isn't a good thing in an RTS. It removes depth.
@ Jinseul you contradicted yourself in your post. You stated that the blizzards add more strategy but then state how random effects, such as weather, disable strategy. A player's reactions to random occurrences are tactical decisions not strategic ones.
